Jet - Get What You Need
Jungle Brothers - I'll House You
(One hell of a music mix isn't it :D)

Big thanks to *rakastajatar for letting me use her photo :), see the original shot here [link]
I really gotta give a lot of props, since it's such a great shot in all respects, my job was real easy, all I had to do is play from the photo and try and maintain its feel.

Another take on mixing photography and pixel art.. This time I went a lil further and tried combining low res 2bit pixels with a grainy film shot.. Hope ya like the result.

Haha, I like this. The pixels and the grainy shot give it a nice lo-fi feeling. I like the colors a lot too.
I think my favorite part is the cat at the bottom. Cool stuff. =)

I like the humor in this, it screams pop culture, what with the mix of old style game type graphics coupled with the realism of the photograph. Very clever piece.
